When people talk about this idea of being a Welsh guy from the Valleys who travelled off to Indonesia to make martial arts action movies, on paper, it sounds really bizarre. But because everything happens in real time for me, it's just been a smooth process, it hasn't been weird.

When it came time to design the action for 'Gangs' I knew that there'd be a level of expectation. What I wanted to do was play into some of the tropes that you would expect from a show called 'Gangs of London.'

I can't go to a restaurant or a hotel now without looking at the architecture and wondering how it would look if a character jumped off something - or crashed through it.
